AtanasM I recently rebuilt my iMac and have the same problem. The OS X drive is not case sensitive nor is removable. I've uninstalled and installed. OneDrive a couple of times. Very frustrating. I have my OneDrive on my MBP with no issues. Hope we can get some help soon.

I have the samen problem and tried the same steps.
OneDrive used to work on this MBP, but under the intel client it had a memory leak. So I tried to upgrade to the Apple Silicon version, but now it's doesn't install at all
I just solved it for me:
I searched for all one drive related files on my harddrive and removed them from my system. I found an instance at users/%name/library/cloudstorage (is hidden) and removed that one also.After this one drive installed and is synchronizing at this moment
viktorv Just wanted to let all know that this worked for me. You must delete the entire cloud storage folder and then run OneDrive again.
- Tried twice, no joy. Even used an app to remove all of OneDrive (Nektony App Cleaner & Uninstaller) and the CloudStorage folder twice. No joy. Will try to boot into Safe mode and try again.
viktorv Thanks. I'm glad that worked. I have tried that as well but with no luck. I will try again.
